[1] A computer analyst in private life, Albert lived in Outremont, Montreal for many years before moving to Knowlton in the Eastern Townships.
He has also written that the French language is not under threat in Quebec and that the province would be more successful economically if it dropped its nationalist focus.
[4] Albert is an ally of William Shaw, a longtime right-wing anglophone activist in Quebec and a former Member of the National Assembly (1976–81).
In early 1990, he wrote a piece in the Montreal paper The Suburban comparing Quebec’s language legislation to Nazism.
[14] Albert joined the executive of the Equality Party of Quebec, which was focused on anglophone rights, shortly after its founding in 1989.
[15] When speaking at a party rally that year, he argued that the government of Canada could be justified in sending the Canadian Army into Quebec because of threats to the anglophone minority.
[16] A Montreal Gazette article subsequently described Albert as belonging to a "redneck anglo-rights fringe" distinct from more mainstream supporters of anglophone rights.
He again focused on language issues, saying that incumbent Liberal representative Pierre Paradis had not defended the rights of local anglophones.
Among other things, he written against the metric system, criticized Pete Seeger as a communist propagandist, praised Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, defended Monsanto, and supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
